How important would you say going to college is in our current day? (Page 2)

[TallAnon]

It's definitely a speed boost if you're sure what you want to do

[Dinklex3]

Depends on what it is you want to go for.

[Xtendable]

Its important depending on the vocational direction of the individual

[LepardLashes]

Not really necessary.

[xJayleenx]

I wish I knew I’m in college right now 😭

[SolitarySolace]

Its not necessary at all

[gabby100]

Most employers require a college education.

[PatriceONeal]

That's not true at all

[gabby100]

@PatriceONeal Here in the UK , You need one to empty bins. But to get any decent paying job you do..

[PatriceONeal]

So most employers. Jobs. Or well-paying jobs. Pick one.

@PatriceONeal The point of education is to better yourself. We all need money to live. Qualifications get a better paid job. So that is the important part of going to college.

[PatriceONeal]

I understand the importance of education. Unfortunately so do thousands of private institutes, they then raise tuition prices with help from government bailouts to the point of redundancy. You're better off not going to college when you've been completely priced out. You leave college at 22 with 120k debt and no job lined up. Like I said you'll be in your 30s by the time you've cleared that debt if you do. It's not a good pathway to success.

@PatriceONeal Get your point , but i was talking about college not university..

[PatriceONeal]

College and university. What's the difference?

[gabby100]

@PatriceONeal In the UK quite a lot. The fees for UNI are high but, not as high as you quoted. For college they in greater part are paid by the government.

[PatriceONeal]

The government caused inflation everytime they tried to "help" here in the US. The price of housing, cars, education, and healthcare have all been inflated very badly thanks to well-meaning government programs. If there's more money to ask for than people will ask for it.

For me I don’t think it is
